Tribal Climate Resilience Annual Awards Program

The Branch of Tribal Climate Resilience (TCR) provides financial support for federally-recognized Tribal Nations and authorized Tribal organizations through a competitive funding opportunity to build Tribal resilience capacity.  The Tribal Climate Resilience Annual Awards Program supports both planning and implementation projects, including for climate adaptation planning, community-led relocation, managed retreat (ie, partial relocation), protect-in-place efforts, ocean and coastal management, as well as for habitat restoration and adaptation. TCR will make available approximately $120 million in funding for Tribes and tribal organizations to address the unique impacts of climate change affecting vulnerable tribal communities.

For help submitting your annual award application, a Grant Writing Webinar covering the fundamentals of writing a competitive funding proposal is available on July 26, 2023.

An Informational Webinar will be hosted on August 2, 2023 by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Tribes and Climate Change Program. The webinar will be recorded and archived on the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) website. Following the webinar, TCR will update the slides with new questions asked during the webinar.
